Mary gave me a great idea recently, so here goes. It's been another rough week, and I could use a boat ride, I think. It sounds lovely. Maybe a large sailboat. Room enough for anyone to join me. There is a nice breeze, and I intend to make a day of it. Think tropical with clear water. We can anchor and go snorkling for a bit if you like. I can usually spot a few dolphins nearby to enjoy watching as we sail.

I think Oreos are a must, so I'm grabbing a bag to share and some chocolate milk and also bottled water. Anyone care to bring fruit or anything? I'm also stashing some drawing paper and colored pencils on board for anyone.

Would anyone care to join me? Grab your sunglasses and hop aboard. What would you like to bring with you? All ideas welcome.

I think that sounds great, Misty! I could use a day trip out on the water... though sometimes I get a little sea sick... Oh well, they have pills for that!

I'll bring some fruit salad! I think I should bring some sunblock and a few extra towels for everybody too. Maybe a few games for people to play too. If we went snorkeling it would be the perfect time to have an underwater camera too! I'll have to see if I can get my hands on one of those to bring.

Anyone else?

Caprice posted this on the self injury board 4 months ago before she was stolen in the night had to leave us.

she would have been the first to come aboard on the boat ride. I can think of nothing more soothing and comforting then her words.

She sits calmy, leaning over the boat and trailing her hand in its waters, reveling in the day, enjoying her soul sisters. She notices Savannah enjoying the attention of the humans around her. Rose looks a little less green-faced now and admires her courage to join us on the water. She looks up and smiles at the pirate makeover, raises a toast to those around her and proclaims, "Aye, it's been a pleasant day all around, don't 'ya think?" Already she is planning the next boat ride or any get together that surrounds her with those who understand the need for distraction.

She calls out, "Shall we plan something else? Perhaps for anyone who wasn't up to this occasion?"

MarySings here ... sorry I'm late. I cooked the most wonderful chocolate cake for the ride. Plates and forks for everyone as the sun sets in the west!

I find a comfy place to sit. I have my pink blanket and music books. ummmmmmm such a relaxing ride.

I've had some emotionable problems lately and Dr.B is assigning some awesome homework. It's tiring and challenging. Also I've been fighting a staph infection. *sigh*

Good Things? I finished all the tax stuff and books for 2012 two days before we went to the cpa's office. More good things, we are ready to confirm an order for a new sofa and loveseat. Dr.B said we would help our marriage if we actually touched each other in the evening and talked. We are both looking forward to this change.

I love the boat's name! My goodness I miss Caprice and her soothing posts.

I'm strong willed and I tell it like it is. I make mistakes, I'm sometimes out of control, but I love and give with all my heart. Have patience with me as I heal.

Hear, hear, to the USS Caprice. May she sail again soon. Rose, your secret is safe with me. Mary, glad you could join us! I only see crumbs left from the cake now. Very yummy.

Does the happy dance for your good things. And I hope the homework is helpful. Sounds promising.
